Building K-3D 0.8 on Ubuntu

This was tested on an Ubuntu distribution. I guess this should work on Debian too. If you find any difference please add it here.
Get the K-3D source from the Mercurial repository.(see http://developer.k-3d.org/)

Building K-3D 0.7 on Ubuntu

This was tested on an Ubuntu distribution. I guess this should work on Debian too. If you find any difference please add it here.
Get the K-3D source from the SVN repository. See the Subversion article if you have any doubt.
You can also download 0.6 from the .tar (sourceforge.net) or from CVS.

Hardy

On ubuntu hardy the aqsis package has broken dependencies, so i removed it until this is fixed (this means you won't be able to render with aqsis, but you can use the rest) Check this page for solving this problem.

Configure usually fails due to missing library dependencies (will be printed on the screen). Obtain the missing libraries searching with apt (apt-cache search "something you search", make sure you have the needed repositorires check with Debian repositories and Ubuntu repositories) and install them. You will probably need to install the "package_name"-dev version of the library. If you still can't find the requested package try going to the packages web site to get more information on how it can be installed. Or follow the instructions on how to disable features that require those libraries. (for more ./configure options run ./configure --help)
